i hope this was posted literally two minutes ago because this needs about 500k notes stat

so in the 800 times they got reset, there’s been some Chidi/Eleanor, some Eleanor/Tahani, and some Tahani/Jason.

So there’s… a non-zero chance that there was some Chidi/Jason going on at some point.

And to be honest, all I can imagine is, like, it’s a timeline where for some reason Jason kept quiet for a lot longer so Chidi finds himself attracted to this wise, calm, silent monk that just listens while Chidi rants about the problems he’s facing….

and then one day Jason opens his mouth.

you think being gay is hard??? try telling people youre only attracted to clowns

OHMYGOD

The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

“Mental illness is like fighting a war where the enemy’s strategy is to convince you that the war isn’t actually happening.”

Me: I can’t get out of bed today, what is wrong with me. I’m so lazy and terrible and I am a huge flake and there has got to be something wrong with me. My brain: There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

My perfectionism is devastated

YOU MOTHERFUCKER

Therapist: "And what do we say when life disappoints us"

Me: "Called it"

Therapist: "no"

i talk a big game about enemies-to-lovers but i’ve only just now begun considering the possibilities of friends-to-enemies-to-lovers. they were friends. there was a BETRAYAL. now they’re enemies. but then… they fall in love… maximum potential for pining… achieved

oh……..

if only they had seen the light earlier.. realized their feelings… just a little bit sooner… but now they’re on the opposite sides of a conflict… how tragic

Very well

I’m crying y’all…..

Fucking spread this like wildfire.

All of that effort for nothing…it’s a damn shame and it’s heartbreaking. 

“the game” is a sleeper agent activation phrase for anyone who was in middle school between 2006 and 2009 and apparently ppl any younger than that are blissfully unaware of the psychological warfare of the game

Tell me what it is

doesn’t matter, we already lost

The fact that there’s people that still don’t know it means we all collectively lost again.

I try to keep my nose out of shit like this but today. man. today I encountered something that really ticked me off.

today I met a professor who does queer studies. she told me that her teenage gay son yelled at her recently for using the word “queer” in describing her discipline and demanded to know how the university “could get away with calling it that.”

so of course she’s baffled right, and asks him where on earth this is coming from. and he told her he read it on Tumblr. 

listen if you don’t want to be called queer and don’t want to be lumped in with folks who comprise the queer community, that’s fine. that’s totally fine. it is 100% okay. people are allowed to have complicated histories with that word. it’s a fraught signifier. it’s a mess and it’s allowed to be. 

what’s not cool is telling young LGBTQ+ people that queer is a slur in all contexts because now you are stripping away not just the language that we use to describe ourselves but also the language that creates the discipline that lets us study our own lives and our cultures. Queer studies has been a part of American academe since the 1970s (possibly earlier, depending on who you ask). “Queer” has been a functioning and largely unproblematic signifier in American academe since ten years before the AIDS crisis. If you don’t at least know that much, you have absolutely no business trying to educate LGBTQ+ youth about queer history.

Trying to censor the word queer from our collective cultural lexicon is 1) impossible. it’s here now. and 2) an erasure of our lineage of scholarship. I could spend all day lobbing criticisms at American academic culture and I do, but queers created space for ourselves in academe. We built a queer world inside the tower that tried its best to keep us out and now we have a place here. 

I am a queer person and I am a queer scholar. You use whatever words you want to signify who you are and how you live your life and how you love your loves. You won’t hear a peep of criticism from me.  All I’m asking is that you do me and mine the courtesy of leaving our collective body of text very much the fuck alone.

This is what I mean when I and people like me talk about the way that queerphobia is something that people with really shitty attitudes are intentionally trying to teach to young people, specifically to harm us.

So yeah, exclusionists go right in that same bucket as TERFs when it comes to being conservative authoritarians that are trying to threaten a huge part of the LGBTQ+ community.
